Only if the parts of the plan that enable them to work are also introduced. Your choices don't really reflect the way things will work out <g> For example, there is no "single payer" option in either the House or Senate bill - that simply cannot happen here. Yet you have it as a choice?
I hope folks realize there is no "Presidents' Healthcare Plan" that will be voted upon. That is only a list of starting points for discussion he has assembled. Has nothing to do with anything really - the House and Senate are in charge of this. He only - finally - came out with his own comments as a starting point, after leaving the House and Senate alone to work it out themselves this past year (and we saw how well that went)
The President is going off parts of the Senate plan as the base of negotiation. The Dems are embracing the House version, especially with strong support of the popular public option. The GOP wants a little, mostly tort reform and to sell across state lines. We'll see. The more of the House bill that is in there, the happier I will be.
